I should have waited a little longer to test.
The thin realistic water did not crack when bent. I left a fingerprint when I touched it ealy.
The Realistic Water is plastic, I saw a video in which a drop of Realistic water peeled off backing paper. You will have to be careful about brush strokes.

Hey Oldent, I have two questions for you, in case you ever tried these things.

What I am doing is making a kind of "terrain tray" using a metal sheet (in my case 50x40 cm).
I primed it with a zync-based acrylic primer, I will then airbrush it to my tastes (dark still water) and would like to finish with a glossy surface, if possible not just a glossy primer, but a couple of mm think.

The questions are:

1- can you apply realistic waters with a brush? What I would like to do is pouring some of it in the center of the sheet, then expand it using a brush until it is thin. The main reason would be to avoid using "armors" on its side.

2- have you any idea of the "flexibility" of the final result? The reason for this question is that of course the sheet (being 0,6mm think, even if metal) bends a little when moving it around, so if the final result is super rigid (like resin would be) it would crack with the smallest bend. Of course I do not mean bending the sheet 90°, I mean just the small fluctuation when moving it from one place to another.

Thank you for your attention anyway!

I was curious about your questions.
I took a 40mm metal base and painted Realistic Water on the surface with a brush. Gravity took care of the brush strokes. We will see how flexible it is when it is dry.

I have not used a brush with Realistic water. I believe it will be flexible enough. I have not tried it.
